Chapter 1262: Imminent Crisis (Part II)
Zuo Ziyou seemed to be confident, and said in a cold tone, "And I'm here tonight, not to report the news to you, but to give you a wake-up——"
"Reminder, what's the ......?" Chatai Kortai asked, confused, and turned his head.
"Our plan has been discovered...... Zuo Ziyou continued, "Let's deal with Sun Yun, if you want to do it, you must also ...... it as soon as possible."
"What do you mean......" Chatai Kortai couldn't help but ask, "what are you going to do, and who discovered our plan?"
"Your brother, Chatai Dorton—" Zuo Ziyou said calmly, "he has discovered our plan, and the secret may not be ......"
"What if I don't keep it?" he suspects that this is not the first time for me......" Chatai Kortai said as if he didn't seem to care.
"Could it be...... Aren't you afraid that he will tell your father about the matter between us, including the matter of falsifying the holy decree......" Zuo Ziyou's tone was slightly threatening.
Sure enough, at the mention of the "false decree", Chatai Koltai's brows immediately tightened.
"If he tells your father about this, your fate in the family in the future can be imagined......" Zuo Ziyou continued to smile coldly.
"Are you threatening me?" asked Chatai Kortai, his eyes frozen, and he asked in a retort.
"It's not me who threatens you, it's your brother Chatai Dordun who threatens you......" Zuo Ziyou continued to say without changing his face, "As for the power to control the entire Chatai family, Chatai Doldun and Sun Yun are both your opponents, even enemies, if this handle is caught by them, you will lose the initiative, not to mention that the two of them are still on the same front against you......"
"Then I...... What should I do?" Although Chatai Kortai's expression was condensed, his mentality was obviously a little shaken - in order to monopolize power, he had risked plotting against Sun Yun three times and twice, and even risked being killed, but he didn't want to cause consequences that would be difficult to end now, so he couldn't help but ask slowly.
"Strike first, execute them-" Zuo Ziyou's eyes were cold, and he said with a murderous aura, "Sun Yunyuan can't deal with it on the front line, can't your brother who has disabled legs and feet and has all his martial arts waste?"
"You want me to kill my brother with my own hands?" asked Chatai Kortai as he gritted his teeth.
"Is it unbearable in my heart? Hmph, why did you still hate it in the first place, and even wanted to get rid of it and ...... it quickly" Zuo Ziyou seemed to have expected this reaction a long time ago, and said with a smile, "Killing relatives is not an uncommon thing, thinking back to the Taizong period of the Tang Dynasty, isn't it also the political stage that Xuanwumen was dyed with the blood of his brothers......?
"If you want to get the rights and interests of the family, you must ruthlessly kill your relatives......" Chatai Kortai also gradually showed a murderous look, his ambition became more and more revealed, and he asked slyly, "It's not that I don't have this heart, but what to do?" Even if he has completely lost his martial arts, it is not easy to kill him, let alone under the vision of the clansmen......
"Isn't it simple to kill others by poisoning and murder?" Zuo Ziyou asked rhetorically and sneered, "At the right time, poison the stomach, as for what to do, I don't think I need to teach you this......" After speaking, Zuo Ziyou took out a piece of medicine wrapped in a piece of paper cloth from his waist.
"What's that?" said Chatai Kortai knowingly.
"Death!" Zuo Ziyou said ruthlessly, "choose the right time to throw poison into food or wine - now he is a person who has completely lost his martial arts, and if he eats it by mistake, he will definitely die!"
Chatai Koltai gently took the poison, twisted his fingers and thought for a while, and the advisor said: "The idea is simple, but it is not easy to implement...... My brother's meals are escorted by a special person on weekdays, and the wine is rarely touched, even if the martial arts are completely wasted, there is still vigilance, and it is not so easy to poison him with such a simple method......"
"There will be a chance......" However, Zuo Ziyou seemed confident, "In a few days, you will have a chance to poison and put poison into his drink......"
"How do you know? Moham, what is your plan......" said Chatai Kortai half-incredulously, "what is the chance, and what will happen in a few days?"
"You'll know in a few days......" Zuo Ziyou sneered, "To be precise, there will be results within three days—that is, as long as you and my plan are really implemented, you will only be able to live for three days at most......"
"Why should I believe you?" Chatai Kortai still didn't feel at ease, after all, he had always regarded the people of the "Canghuan Sect" as enemies, and it was not uncommon to believe what an enemy said.
"You can not believe ...... now," however, Zuo Ziyou was still full of confidence, "but I think that when that day comes, you will naturally believe it......"
"Oh, so confident......" asked Chatai Kortai with a rhetorical smile.
"You can bet on it--but what I want to say is that that day is your best chance to assassinate your brother, and if you miss it, you won't have ......" Zuo Ziyou seemed to have something to say, and under his cunning gaze, there was a faint hint of unknown murderous aura.
Chatai Kortai twisted his fingers to put away the poison, but he was silently making a bet in his heart......
Sleepless nights are coming to an end......
In the early morning of the next day, the dart board ......
It has been some time since the last dart went to the palace to see Chatai Dordun, counting Sun Yun's support for the front line, Ren Guang and others returned to the dart bureau, at least more than a month apart, Sun Yun and Du Juan were not at home for more than a month, and the dart game also seemed relatively deserted.
The three brothers, Ren Guang, Lin Jing and Shi Changsong, were still busy with their own affairs in the dart game as usual, and as for the errands with the Chamber of Commerce in the city, they were all handled by Xiaobei and other young dart masters.
And Hong Jifeng, the "doctor of the rivers and lakes" who was supposed to treat the legs and feet of the cuckoo, has been temporarily living in the Laiyun Dart Bureau during this time because of the war in the city. But even if Du Juan is not in the dart game, he is not idle - during the war, there are refugees who come from Xicheng to escape the war every day, and Hong Jifeng is responsible for treating the wounded and sick of these displaced people; although it is a drop in the bucket, Hong Jifeng still carries the burden on his shoulders and does his best to treat the wounded, and because of this, more and more refugees come to the dart board......
At this time, in the hall of the dart game, Sun Shangrong and Ren Guang, the chief dart heads, were discussing the affairs of the dart game......
"How is the expenditure of the dart bureau in the past few days?" Sun Shangrong still stood up straight as usual, caring about everything in the dart game, and asked Ren Guang.
"The expenditure is quite stable, at least the expenses of the dart game can be handled......" Ren Guang's face was gloomy, and his expression was calm, "The 'Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce' is still in contact with Senior Yang, and the disciples of Mingjian Villa have also visited recently, so the main business is still related to this...... But now I am more worried that there are more and more refugees near the dart board recently, and if the war burns here from the west of the city, I am afraid that the whole dart game will temporarily suspend business......
"Speaking of refugees from the west of the city, ......" Referring to this incident, Sun Shangrong sighed silently and said slowly, "This 'Mingfu Sect' thug is very rampant, not only wantonly destroying the imperial court, but also persecuting hundreds of people to be displaced...... What do they say under the slogan of 'overthrowing tyranny', in fact, what they did is more hateful than the Mengyuan court, which was heavily enforced by forced labor......"
"The most pitiful thing should still be those people in distress...... Ren Guang said painstakingly, "The young master has mentioned this matter more than once before, he said that in this world, whether it is ruled by the Mongols or the Han people, what the people want most is to live and work in peace and contentment, and stay away from the war...... But the riot of the 'Mingfu Sect' has caused panic and peace in the entire capital for several months, and these thieves of the 'Mingfu Sect' are very hateful, I can't wait to peel them off one by one and cramp!" In the end, Ren Guang couldn't help but clench his fists and sigh angrily.
"It's a moment to be able to endure for a while, the dart bureau has experienced decades of wind and waves, and it has been like this all the way......" Sun Shangrong seemed calmer, as if he looked down on everything in life, and said seriously, "To be honest, this is not the biggest ordeal that the dart game has experienced...... At the very least, everyone in the dart game is fine, it is better to be alive than anything else, and there is hope to continue walking-"
"That's what the dart head said......" Ren Guang nodded a little calmly, and then couldn't help but say, "It's a pity that those people who are in distress don't have such a good life as us......"
"The old dart head once said to me that as long as people are in the dart game, people can fall, but the will to guard the dart game will never collapse-" Recalling his "eventful years", Sun Shangrong couldn't help but feel and said, "Maybe one day in the future, the dart board will encounter greater tribulations and hardships than now, but I hope you can keep sticking to it - the dart game can be without, but the spirit can not be erased!"
"Don't worry, Darthead, our teachings today will be engraved in our hearts!" Ren Guang was very touched after listening to it, and pursed his lips and said firmly.
"That's good, that's good......" And Sun Shangrong has always been the attitude of an elder who knows through the world, and after mentioning the matter of the dart game, he changed the topic again, "It is said that during the time that Senior Hong lived in the dart game, life was quite peaceful......
Ren Guang subconsciously glanced out of the door, and then responded: "Senior Hong has grown up with medical skills, and more and more people have come here these days due to war, and he is also too busy to work...... To be honest, I admire Mr. Hong's medical skills, who have walked the rivers and lakes for decades and saved countless patients, but I have never changed my beliefs - I think Mr. Hong's high value is not only his medical skills, but also his medical ethics......"
"Yes, Senior Hong is also one of my most admired seniors, these days to be able to live with us, the dart game should be considered a ......" Sun Shangrong mentioned a little, then turned his head and said, "But this world is not born at the right time, and now most of the cities are constantly in war, I am afraid that Senior Hong will not be able to do it alone, and he will be tired of his body ...... old age."
"It's okay, Ah Jing isn't too busy these days, and when he has time, he gathers the brothers in the dart bureau to help Senior Hong take care of the displaced patients...... Ren Guang said with a smile.
"That's it, it's very good, it's very good......" Sun Shangrong just smiled and nodded, I don't know if it was a heartfelt laugh or a little bitterness......
However, as the conversation was getting going, there was a sudden commotion outside the dart game......
"Ahh......h......h
"What's the matter, why is it so noisy outside?" Ren Guang was a little uneasy, and asked back with a frown.
"It looks like something bad is happening...... Sun Shangrong mentioned slightly, and the expression on his face was more serious......
"Oh no...... Oh no—" However, at this moment, in the direction of the gate of the dart game, Lin Jing hurriedly ran to the side of the hall with a group of people, shouting as he ran.
"What's wrong?" Ren Guang saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"What's the situation? What's going on, I'm startled......" Shi Changsong was settling accounts in the warehouse, and when he heard the shouts of Lin Jing outside, he couldn't help but run out and ask.
"Oh no, big deal...... Whew......" Lin Jing gasped and said as he stopped in front of Ren Guang.
"What's wrong, don't worry, speak slowly—" Ren Guang asked patiently, and Shi Changsong, who was in the back warehouse, also ran over.
"It's someone who ...... the 'Mingfu Sect'—" Lin Jing said bluntly.
"What are you talking about?!——" Hearing this, the people present let out a cry of surprise.
"What the hell is going on, you quickly tell me clearly-" Hearing that it was "Mingfu Sect", Ren Guang began to be a little anxious at this time, and hurriedly asked.
"It's the men and horses of the 'Ming Fu Sect'......" Lin Jing continued, "There is a force that has attacked this area, and now a team of the 'Ming Fu Sect' is rushing towards the side of the Lai Dart Bureau——"
"How is this possible?Aren't the people of the 'Ming Fu Sect' fighting with the forbidden army of the imperial court in Xicheng-" When Shi Changsong heard this, he suddenly couldn't stand still, and asked in exclamation, "Why did they appear here with us?"
"The ghost knows ?——why," Lin Jing also said with a stunned expression, "The war has spread here, I'm afraid it's not safe to come to the dart game, we must move immediately!"
"How can that be done? There are still many displaced people here—" Ren Guang heard this, and immediately said in a fixed voice, "If we leave, won't these people be poisoned by the war?!——
"But the enemy is already imminent, and there is no time to think about it-" Lin Jing said anxiously, "Either transfer en masse, or bring the people with you...... But there are too many people in distress, and we can't save them by relying on our dart board alone!"
"Then what should I do?......" Hearing this, Shi Changsong was already full of anxiety......
